Suffer Little Children - The Smiths: Decibelle demo 1982

[@belle-mere7774]

Absolutely invaluable piece of history

[@MeanManu]

listening to this is like listening to the birth of the big bang

[@Bouncethemouse]

What a brilliant analogy ❤

[@owenmaybeidk]

real

[@yepyep2315]

"i'll haunt you when you laugh" o que mais me encanta nessa música é que que além de falar de um caso real de assassinato infantil, eles descrevem tão bem e tão simples a dor da perda. a culpa que vem quando você está se recuperando, superando, como se fosse um desrespeito a aquele que se foi voltar a ser feliz, como se a morte fosse um casamento sem volta com o luto. amo essa banda demais

[@__-kz8ft]

oi amigo, eu tambem vejo essa musica assim e por isso e por outras cincurstancias que passei é uma das minhas favoritas, amamos the smiths demais :)

[@johnlowe-rk9vv]

Love this ❤❤❤ the very start of a fantastic band

[@owenmaybeidk]

the piano at the ending is so gut wrenching yet its so beautiful

[@smallie210]

I don't get why they removed it from the final version. That was one of the best parts of the song

[@franklyms.shankly8688]

I love the raw , haunting sounds...So amazing to hear this and yes , I hear it tooo.. Sing me to sleep, Sing me to sleep.....Wow!!!

[@meatismurder]

i think the piano part is from meat is murder tbf

[@imsorryforarguingbut4555]

i wish more demos from this year were out there

[@Nonexistanthuman]

I’m very grateful to have listened to this recording. Its amazing how KZbin can be a time capsule for future generations.

[@TheSmithsUnofficial]

Thanks again Dale

[@DoctorD279]

Oh my sweet lord. It's really out there. Thanks Mr. Hibbert. Stunning

OMG - I am living in a summers night in 1982.

Qui è iniziato il tutto! 🖤🔝 Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹

[@user-jm5jm1zi4t]

Such a magnificent low voice

[@thesmithspresumably]

Haunting. Thanks!

[@mozzer35]

It’s wonderful to hear this. Thank you!

[@carolinasoares8013]

Foi um grande achado essa versão 🖤

[@Detroitor]

At the end, about 6:07, it sounds like Johnny puts down the guitar and then is playing a piano, and specifically some chords that later end up in Asleep. Am I crazy?

[@stef-qk1hu]

i agree

[@MeanManu]

Moz def !

[@Detroitor]

@@domucoffeehouse4644 Very interesting, and that makes sense, as the piano part does not really fit with the rest of the song. And huge thanks for posting these audio recordings..... totally amazing to hear!

[@daveanderson9069]

Eternal thanks for sharing man.

[@dalehibbert]

The piano was recorded in Bowden, Johnny brought it in on tape , it became "Asleep"

[@decaffeinatedafrican5997]

The Smiths' success was truly inevitable.

[@Koshirozation]

so much to answer for...

[@Alstr89]

Yesss thank you... Been waiting for this...

[@VinylTherapy]

Thanks for uploading this.

[@gootsy]

Thank you once again !!!!

[@brianforbes8872]

Wow - thank you for this

[@thesmithsmaf]

Lovely

[@achair650]

Why how lovely!

[@VRANAR20004]

Thank you for share it!!! 💖

[@MOZmoz08]

Thank you, sir!

[@ashleyohohoh]

This version is awesome. Feels like im coming down off of acid. 🥴

[@pervenchemusic]

this is actually a great analogy, the disorientating feeling of things being weird but normal at the same time and your body just feeling a bit off and restless

[@ashleyohohoh]

First off, thank you for bringing me back to this song. Second.. yes. That uneasy feeling.

[@iamerikr]

Dale strikes again!

[@cochranlover]

Great to hear Are there a different mixes? Drums not too loud here ... more audible on the previously-available short version

[@iamerikr]

Dale is the bees knees !

[@felixgraphx]

Am I dreaming? I've never used a computer nor youtube in a dream before...

[@haesklar3635]

[@Rocketbabydoll27]

Who’s the chick

[@imsorryforarguingbut4555]

possibly annalisa-moz’s girlfriend at the time-who also did a lyric on pretty girls make graves, but im just speculating

[@haztec.]

Ann Coates /s

[@jeffblack5024]

I would have turned it down too, Funky Si.
